Buttermilk Pie



One of my favorite pies!

I've been known to ask for this for my birthday; I love it that much!

If you can't get over the name . . .that's OK!

One bite and you'll know that this is one fantastic tasting pie!

There is no hint of a buttermilk taste.

There can't be; there's too much sugar in it!

This is a fantastic, simple, back-to-basics pie that you can't go wrong with!

The only regret you'll have is when it's gone!

Buttermilk Pie

2 cups sugar
2 TBSP flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. butter extract** (can substitute vanilla for the butter extract)
1 tsp. white vinegar
sprinkle of nutmeg on top once the filling is poured into the pie shell, if desired

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the prepared, unbaked piecrust into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Combine the sugar with the flour.  Cream the butter and sugar together.  Add the eggs, salt, buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and butter extracts, and vinegar.

Pour filling into the partially baked piecrust and bake in the oven uncovered until brown on top;  about 40 minutes.  Loosely place a piece of foil over the pie and allow the pie to cook until the custard is set; depending on your oven, 10-20 additional minutes.  The foil will prevent further browning of the top while the pie cooks. 

Serve warm or cooled.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe.

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
